Right now Delivery and utility vehicles have no curb access and end up double parking, crosswalk blocking, engine idling. We all suffer so that one person will be able to store their car for free. And yes, cars are never moved: Open your eyes and take notice: choose a block and document, see for yourself.Choresh Waldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938663493662725153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-68973808927258612072021-01-26T22:52:24.378-05:002021-01-26T22:52:24.378-05:00Thank you anon 2:52, I think this person is a bike...Thank you anon 2:52, I think this person is a bike activist of some sort so has a really distorted view.

B/c that's a ridiculous statement.<br /><br />You say "City land is too valuable to store unused cars." OK, then provide an explanation of what DOES qualify to take up "city land" - is it these unused-in-the-winter outdoor eating spots, and are they more important than being able to park a car?<br /><br />Even more important: What is the value of being able to get dropped off by a taxi in front of one's home when one is coming home from a medical visit & is using a walker? Also, is city land too valuable for pedestrians to put their feet on? Maybe walking from Point A to Point B in NYC should be taxed, b/c city land is "too valuable" to be used for that.<br /><br />Please say what the determination of "value" of city land is, and who got to decide on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-30132137175566946082021-01-26T14:30:17.031-05:002021-01-26T14:30:17.031-05:00Cars are such a luxury , i didn't need one unt...Cars are such a luxury , i didn't need one until i needed to transport my wheelchair bound child to his doctors and therapists who are scattered around the metropolitan area . most people i know with cars have them because of a need not a want, this city while great for access MTA CABS LIRR it is not that great for all people to maneuver around . <br /> A chap in NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229866015295667941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-69711495121799613112021-01-26T12:46:58.093-05:002021-01-26T12:46:58.093-05:00Thanks for the info!

NYC should finally explore proper car share program(s) like Citibike. So that there would be enough cars spread out where they are needed, to use when needed (electric, while we're dreaming). And owning your own private car is a luxury that should be viewed as such, or a business expense that should be factored in properly.
